On my Saturday boredness I decided to check which UNESCO World Heritage Sites The Amazing Race has visited (US version only). I'm collecting these myself too, and I have to say TAR is way ahead of me Quite surprising how many iconic places TAR hasn't visited yet. I'm sure I missed something, so feel free to correct! The list is here: http://whc.unesco.org/en/listSo these places TAR has at least visited until now:
